Wade has won just one England cap, against Argentina in 2013, and the flyer has reportedly grown increasingly frustrated at being overlooked by head coach Eddie Jones.

If the rapid Wade lands a deal in the United States, he would follow in the footsteps of former England Sevens international Alex Gray and ex-Worcester Warriors lock Christian Scotland-Williamson in swapping rugby union for the NFL.

Wasps have not made any comment on Wade's future.

2011 - Since his @premrugby debut in 2011, @ChristianWade3 has scored more tries (82), made more breaks (190) and beaten more defenders (381) than any other player.

Overall, only Tom Varndell (92) and Mark Cueto (90) have scored more @premrugby tries than Wade.
